A piece of unknown metal with mass 68.6 g is heated to an initial temperature of 100 °C and dropped into 42 g of water (with an

initial temperature of 20 °C) in a calorimeter. The final temperature of the system is 52.1°C. The specific heat of water is 4.184 J/g*⁰C. What is the specific heat of the metal?

The piece of unknown metal is in thermal equilibrium with water such that Q of metal is equal to Q of the water. We write this equality as follows:

-Qm = Qw

Mass of metal (Cm)(ΔT) = Mass of water (Cw) (ΔT)

where C is the specific heat capacities of the materials.

We calculate as follows:

-(Mass of metal (Cm)(ΔT)) = Mass of water (Cw) (ΔT)

-68.6 (Cm)(52.1 - 100) = 42 (4.184) (52.1 - 20)

Cm = 1.717 -----> OPTION C

A solution of potassium nitrate is made when potassium nitrate dissolves in water.
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

Boil the water and stir in potassium nitrate. If it doesn't all dissolve, you can cook it on the stove or microwave it until the water boils again. Remove the solution from heat, but let it cool slowly for the best crystal formation.

Why do atoms form blonds​
lakkis [162]

Answer:

Atoms form chemical bonds to make their outer electron shells more stable. ... An ionic bond, where one atom essentially donates an electron to another, forms when one atom becomes stable by losing its outer electrons and the other atoms become stable (usually by filling its valence shell) by gaining the electrons.

How many joules of heat are required to raise the temperature of 320.0 grams of water from 24.2°C to 50.8°C? Heat capacity of wa
balu736 [363]

Answer:

35750.4 Joules

Explanation:

Using the formula as follows;

Q = m × c × ∆T

Where;

Q = amount of heat (joules)

m = mass of substance (g)

c = specific heat capacity (J/g°C)

∆T = change in temperature (°C)

According to the provided information,

mass (m) = 320.0 grams

c = 4.2 J/g°C

∆T = (50.8°C - 24.2°C) = 26.6°C

Q = ?

Using; Q = m × c × ∆T

Q = 320 × 4.2 × 26.6

Q = 35750.4 J
